I am working on a manual of style for dermatology-related articles at ], this after ]. With that being said, I wanted to know if you would help me develop it, particularly the creation of a suggested list of sections for articles about cutaneous diseases (similar to ], but tailored to cutaneous conditions, and better written)? I understand if you are busy, but wanted to see what you thought. Regardless, thank you again for your work on wikipedia!

"The ] mutation is estimated to be up to 52,000 years old" <-- surely the mutation is as old as the gene. Does this really mean something like, "positive selection for this mutation may have started 50,000 years ago"? ''Italic text''

Hi there, I've started a list of the articles we should aim to include in the first wave of this project.

Hello, thanks for adding that citation to ] (I have kind of unofficially adopted that article over the past couple weeks and am working to improve it). Thank you for the citation as well. I am planning to create a section on consequences that are preventable by avoiding a sedentary lifestyle. One quick thing though if you are citing a scientific journal it's better to use the ] which is a scientific journal citation instead of the web site which is more mainly used for web citations. For a list of all the available citation templates please see. ]. Also don't worry about the one you posted I'll go ahead and alter it to cite journal. Thanks! Good editing. ] (]) 22:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
